Freshmen spur GOP-run House on big spending cuts

Comments

Why doesn't the AP disclose the three Republicans who voted against this
measure? The people need to know who they are. The two sides to these issues,
between big government and small government, will never change. But, the voice
of the people have spoken for smaller government. Let the measure pass.

It has been proven over the last 10 years, including Obama's 2 years of
occupation, that spending money is not working or helping the economy. In fact
spending has made the economy worse, we are also out of money to spend. Does any
of that make sense if you are on a budget? The Democrats seem to think we have
an endless supply of pork.

The democrats are playing hardball to
please their high profile bribery funders. Cuts should hurt and make people cry,
but its either a few tears or global bankruptcy. Blackberry's are not magic
wands that can fix anything, it's going to take human brains and willpower.

Based on your comment it is
obvious that all Republicans wear black and want to destroy the earth while all
Democrats wear white, are saints, and want to save us from those evil
Republicans.

Hasn't Ms. Pelosi had her 15 minutes of fame yet?

Keep this up and you will keep your jobs. Don't settle into the DNC trap of
"we can spend our way out of debt." Keep cutting the fat and like
magic our debts will start to vanish.

"... shield greenhouse-gas polluters and privately owned colleges from
federal regulators; block a plan to clean up the Chesapeake Bay; and bar the
government from shutting down mountaintop mines it believes will cause too much
water pollution. In almost every case, the measure sides with business
groups...." Now we know for sure who the Republicans serve, and it is not
the American people.
